sucoessfal Newspaper writers.

The most successful newspaper writer's
are gentlemen. Bad fellows sometimes
creep in, but you will find them also
preaching the gospel, healing the halt,
pleading for justice, selling tape and OPP
Grating banks. There are drunkards
among the reporters, but the tiplers are
never called to the front. Good news
paper men do not find time to be con-
vivial. Their duties require their constant
attention, and their heads must be clear
at all times. TO allow their heads to be-
come muddled by drink would be their de-
struction. A reporter must be a gentle
man if he hopes to succeed. He must
also be modest, charitable, honorable and
truthful and experienced in the ways Of
the world. He must go about his bust
ness in quiet manner and not like
roaring lion seeking whom he may deyeur.
Beware also of the reporter who makes
q great display of note book and pencils
sharpened at both ends. He is .sduffer''
I'm the profession. Assto the dead beat, -
he has no place within, and we do not see
him as frequently as formerly. This is
right; for it is more of crime for news
paper man to be dead beat than it is for
q doctor, clerk or stone mason, because
he possesses a certain but silent process OF
intimidation not known to any other class.
Experienced men with hardy constitutions
and tough skins dislike to gain the i'll viii
Of any journalistic cat If they can avoid it.
Instead of doing SO the party with the te-
nacious cuticle keeps his peace and thereby
places premium on future depredations
and vilifcations. The honest newspaper
man will not use his giants power like a
giant; and he will hasten to correct any
mistake or misstatement that he has
made.-New York Graphic

Curious Phase Of the street.

The other day met literary woman
OF my acquaintance in the street. She
carried an expression by no means in con.
sonance with the gay spring weather, and
| asked her what allied her. II am ru-
ined, she said. This was rather start
ling statement, but sifted it into mean
ing that she had lost some $500 or 5000.
that she had saved up, in Wall street
speculation. 1t was all the money she
had in the world, and she had saved it
only by dint of the most stringent econ
omy and rigid self denial. Her story Illus
trates one curious phase Of the business
of the street.
She has friend, who is the wife of
quite well-to-do-man This friend has
for some time been riskjng her PIN money
on margins. Her example finally infected
Mrs. x, and she asked her for an intro
duction to her broker. This Mrs. z re-
fused.
I'LL lose my money" she said, II can
afford it; but you cannot. do not want
to reproach myself for any trouble that
might come to YOU" In conversation
with her broker shortly afterward Mrs. z
told this story as illustrating the madness
Of poor woman. The broker called on
Mrs. x, introduced himself as having been
sent by Mrs. 2, got the poor story writer's
cash and that was the end of it. Within
q week it had been wiped out.
This sort Of thing is going on constantly.
The agent Of certain brokers circulate
among women in New York, gathering in
margins on sure things, whose certainty
Is always that OF loss to the investor.

The RealIstlo. and the I.oniAntlc.

II an author Is wise he will adopt the
method to which he is naturally inclined
by training or temperament; II he is wiser
he viii adopt judcious commingling Of
both methods as far as his mental powers
will permit; and X he IS wisest, he will
succeed in whatever he writes. But wise,
wiser or wisest, 1t IS TO be hoped that he Will
not, as rule, assume toward his literary
brother the position assumed by the old
Quaker toward his wife. It Is, an old
story, and we all remember the Quaker's
grave consideration for his better half In
saying: tAll the world Is queer, except
ing thee and me, and thee Is Z little queer.

Immediately upon being notified Of the

hopes to have the break repaired in
the course of two weeks, when navi-
cation can be again resumed. The
break was not unexpected, as the rains
have been unusually severe.
